Giulio Cogni (January 10, 1908 – November 15, 1983) was an Italian writer, racial theorist, music composer and music critic.
Cogni was also an Italian racial theorist and member of the National Fascist Party of Italy.Aaron Gillette. (2002). Racial Theories in Fascist Italy. London, England, UK; New York, New York, USA: Routledge, p. 60. Cogni published Il Razzismo (1936) and sent it to Duce Benito Mussolini to review, initially Mussolini was not impressed with the work, however Cogni's ideas later entered into the official Fascist racial policy several years later. Mussolini appointed him to the editorial board of La Difesa della Razza, a recist magazine initiated in 1938. However, Cogni was removed from the post when he protested Mussolini and other leading fascist figures claiming that they had been using his views without making a reference to him.
In 1941 Giulio Cogni went to Weimar in Nazi Germany, where he met collaborating European writers and joined the Europäische Schriftstellervereinigung (European Writers' League), which was founded by Joseph Goebbels.Frank-Rutger Hausmann.
